How It Was Done

The Process

The Process

The Process

1

Clear the old border

Existing gravel, weeds and overgrown shrubs stripped back to bare soil.

2

Reset the edging and base

New edging installed and the gravel border reset properly, not just topped up.

3

Plant the new scheme

Mixed planting put in, chosen for the garden’s shade and soil rather than a catalogue look.

4

Final tidy and walkthrough

Site cleared, borders finished, and a walkthrough with the client before sign-off.

The Project

The Brief

The client wanted a garden that stayed looking good year-round, not one that looked great for a week after a one-off tidy and slid back into neglect within a month. That meant a proper maintenance schedule, not a single visit.

The Approach

We set up a recurring visit schedule covering mowing and edging, seasonal pruning, bed care and weeding, and planting replacement where needed. The same crew handles every visit, so nothing gets missed between one visit and the next, and green waste is cleared on the day rather than left for the client to deal with.

The Result

A garden that’s consistently maintained rather than swinging between neglected and freshly tidied, with a fixed schedule and price the client can budget for.

Dundrum’s mix of older semi-detached gardens and newer estate plots both share the same maintenance challenge: without a regular schedule, a garden slides from tidy to overgrown within a few weeks during the growing season. A fixed visit schedule, rather than an occasional call-out, is what actually keeps a Dundrum garden looking kept through spring and summer.
